With Minny and Seattle tossing each others front offices through mud with 'poison pill' laden restricted free agent contracts one has to wonder where Jerry and Little Nap are. I mean can they really miss out on such a plum opp to jab each other in the eye with a contract. Both guys would enever let the other steal their free agents if they could help it but with poison pill provisions no one can help it.
Ok, ok so Jerry and Nap don't have much in RFA to steal this year but they could swap backup LBs.
Scott Shanle is tendered as a 7th rounder. Torrin Tucker as a right of first refusal as is excellent special teamer Keith Davis.
Nappy could sign Davis to a deal that states Davis makes 1 mil signing bonus, 1 mil per year for 4 years then his 5th year is for 3 mil, 6th year for 4 mil and he gets roster bonuses of 3 mil in years 4, 5, 6. ALL of it becomes guaranteed if he plays 6 games or more inside the state of Texas.
Shanle could get a 7 year 30 mil deal similar to Davis but with the provision he has to make the base salary of the highest paid WR on the team. That works for Wash who converts the WRs base to near minimum and pays signing and roster bonuses out to guys like they are tipping lap dancers.
Dallas on the other hand could steal Ade Jimoh and Chris Clemons. They would just turn it around and say those deals become guaranteed if they are not given roster bonuses equal to the average of top 10 roster bonuses handed out by the club. Dallas doesn't hand out enough to make 10 a high number but Wash does.
Right now it's be risky business for Dallas to go that route as Wash doesn't draft well enough (or just enough period) to make it worth stealing their talent but is a fun thing to think about.
